Blood removed drop by drop. Ten digits as a key number. Last sounds whispered into a victim’s ear being the letters T-H-C. The monster is dealing with its pain. But why? When enough pieces of the puzzle fit together, the monster’s face is revealed. When the motive is known, the monster is known. Pain always has history and histories overlap for the monster and TJ. Where will it lead? 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4e05J3V [https://amzn.to/4e05J3V]

The Grasshopper Lost Its Wings

Set amid the political turbulence of 1990s Mexico, The Grasshopper Lost Its Wings is a literary historical novel about ambition, exile, and moral reckoning. Eric—known as Chapu—grows up in the margins of Mexico City, selling juice at dawn while dreaming of something larger than poverty. When he falls in love across class lines and is drawn into the inner circle of a presidential campaign, he glimpses a future once unimaginable. But as the nation moves toward the assassination of presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio, Chapu becomes entangled in events that fracture both his country and his own innocence. A single turning point forces him to flee—first to California, then to Chicago—where survival requires reinvention. In exile, he finds unexpected friendships that help him mature into manhood. Yet growth cannot erase what has been done. The past follows him across borders, insistent and unresolved. For an immigrant, homeland is never fully left behind; it lives in memory, in language, in conscience. Blending Indigenous Mexican methodology with modern political history, The Grasshopper Lost Its Wings explores identity, responsibility, and the enduring truth that history must be faced before it can be healed. 📖 Available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/49DaT4v [https://amzn.to/49DaT4v]
